Pokémon Day, celebrated on February 27th, brought a flurry of exciting announcements from The Pokémon Company during a special Pokémon Presents stream. Highlights included a glimpse at Pokémon Legends: Z-A and teasers for Pokémon Concierge and the upcoming battle simulator, Pokémon Champions.
We're particularly thrilled about Pokémon Champions, a new competitive battling experience developed by The Pokémon Works in collaboration with Game Freak. Forget catching Pokémon, traversing tall grass, and collecting Gym Badges – this game is purely focused on high-stakes battles.
What We Know About Pokémon Champions
Pokémon Champions is a multiplayer game featuring cross-platform play on Nintendo Switch and mobile devices. While details on specific game modes remain scarce, multiple modes are planned.
A key feature is its integration with Pokémon Home, allowing players to import select Pokémon from previous games. However, not all Pokémon will be available at launch; only a curated selection will be playable initially.
Pokémon Champions appears poised to provide a dedicated competitive battling experience, free from the usual distractions of the main series games. For now, enjoy the trailer below, and stay tuned for further updates.
